Treasurer's Office
Treasurer: Jackie Brunson
Real Estate Excise TaxDISCLOSURE: It is our goal to process excise transfers the day in which they are received. We do not guarantee same day processing due to some unforeseen circumstances which occur occasionally. Excise transfers held over will be completed in a timely matter in the order they are received. Any transfer of ownership record requires an excise tax affidavit per Washington State Law. Supporting documents supplied with the excise tax affidavit must be recorded with the Recording and/or Licensing Divisions of the Skagit County Auditor.
eReet: Electronic Submissions for Title Companies and Law OfficesTitle companies and law offices may submit packages through Simplifile for electronic real estate excise tax processing. Whereas most REET transactions can take 3-7 days by mail to process, Simplifile allows the Treasurer's Office to process excise transactions within 15 minutes (as long as all transaction requirements are met). Please visit https://simplifile.com/ for more information on submitting your transactions electronically.
